    What a hidden gem in the city! This cool restaurant is in the old Emily Griffith Opportunity School that was built in the early 1900's. It's been converted into a hotel called Slate. I love the ambience and the meshing of old and new. I can still see remnants of the old school but with a modern vibe now. The food was awesome, and our wait staff was so friendly. Love this place! We'll be back.

    The food is always good here, but in the past, the service/timing has been pretty slow. Last night was very good. Our waiter was professional, prompt, efficient and friendly. Thanks!

    Not a lot of food choices and two of the three entrees were fairly bland. Cute idea for a theme but the server seemed to be a little out of it and overall it was just ok.

    We had great service and the food was really good. The space is in the hotel lobby. The hotel is beautiful. But the restaurant is kind of boring. The furniture is nice but blah.
